yeah, like he said, black to ground, and tap to the constant one on the corner lamp...i'd go out and double check on mine(wire color), but i'm stuck here in "office space" haha... good luck!

thats what i need to know! the damn third wire! i got the passenger side to work and want the drivers side NOW cause it looks so good. I saw a fuse in the fuse box(owners manual) that said driving lights but i'm not sure if that is the same thing and if i should run the wire all the way up and to my fuse box i don't think it's that complicated. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!

Same as sidemarkers:

Here's the pics i made:

...now i have 3 wires that have power coming from the car, i have the 2 wires from the sidemarker and i have the 3 wires to the corner bulb harness. Now you have 2 options.
wire the side marker to the red and green wires and the light will be on with the corners and blink when turning.
or wire them to the red and black, and it will only be on with the use your turn signals.
I chose option one, cause that's what i wanted. i don't care if it's jdm enough, thats how i wanted em
Use wire caps and screw the 2 sets of three wires together, and the 1 set of two wires together.
I didn't color code my wire extensions, so it may look off

the extra wire goes to the ebrake.. those city lights are suppose to turn on as soon as the ebrake is dropped

im not sure about this 100%... but i believe the wiring diagram =

left corner
red - right corner red
black - ground

right corner
red1 -left corner red
red2 - ebrake signal
black - ground
